Crosstool

Jim Wilson said the following on LKML:

I recommend Dan Kegel's page for anyone trying to build a cross compiler
to linux. See
http://kegel.com/crosstool
This isn't very hard to follow, and it gives you a properly configured
and built gcc/glibc for the target.

Building GCC 4.0 from scratch

CodeSourcery

You can now download ARM GNU tool chains (source and pre-built releases) from http://www.codesourcery.com where you will have regular builds of the tool chain, integrating support for new core functionality. The current release include support for ARM v6 cores (binutils) and VFP support.

We have had success using the ARM toolchain specified by handhelds.org. There
are both a binary available and a script for building your own.

The build script is actually crosstool 0.27, with slight changes I made to it for the particular selection of binutils, gcc, and glibc versions.

Greg Ungerer ARM multi-lib toolchain build

Greg writes:

Maybe this is interresting to some.
This is the instructions I put together for building a gcc-3.3.4
based ARM toolchain that is multi-lib-ed to be able to build for
all of big and little endian targets, and using either soft
or hard float.

Its nice just having one tool chain for all those varients
(I generate code for both little and big endian targets on a
daily basis, and everything from small non-mmu ARM7 cores to
xscale, all with the same tool chain).

Toolchain downloads

Some member companies have provided sources and binaries for toolchains
they are using for forum work.

ELDK

The Embedded Linux Development Kit (ELDK) is an Open Source project
maintained by
DENX Software Engineering. It supports
PowerPC, ARM and MIPS systems.
In addition to the usual cross-development tools, the ELDK comes with
a pretty complete native development environment and some other
extensions, like support for the Xenomai Real-Time and RTOS Emulation
Framework.
